Peace in Practice: How Benue Communities Are Building Harmony Every Day

In communities across #Benue, peace is not just an aspiration — it is a daily practice.
From dialogue circles held under the trees to quiet moments of mediation between neighbors, people are choosing understanding over division and collaboration over conflict.

Equally inspiring are the tireless efforts of the Community Peace Committees (CPCs), who continue to mediate and resolve local issues through dialogue, cooperation, and empathy. Their dedication has helped address challenges ranging from land and resource disputes to interpersonal misunderstandings—gradually restoring trust, harmony, and social cohesion.

These grassroots initiatives remind us that peacebuilding begins where people live—in conversations, shared solutions, and a commitment to collective progress. When communities take ownership of their challenges and their future, peace becomes not only possible but truly sustainable.

At #GoGreen, we celebrate these milestones and remain committed to equipping communities with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to continue transforming conflicts into opportunities for growth, unity, and resilience.
